Business Class Flights to Saigon

Saigon is the former name of a major Vietnamese city, now called Ho Chi Minh. It plays an important role as a centre of commerce, science and technology and is a popular destination for Western tourists.
This is definitely the place to come if you enjoy the warmth. Temperatures can reach up to 40 degrees centigrade during April. Anybody planning to take business flights to this city is advised to take a rain coat. During the rainy season, from May to November, there will be numerous torrential downpours.

Flying Business Class to Saigon From The UK

Ton Son Nhat, located just four miles away from the city of Ho Chi Minh, is the main airport in Vietnam. You will not want to spend long in the airport as the loud announcements coming from the distorted sound system are likely to give you a headache. Many visitors find that their patience is tested when queuing to get through the security checkpoints.
There are many airlines which provide business flights from the UK to Vietnam. If you want to fly with an established and reputable airline then you might want to consider British Airways, Cathay Pacific or KLM. Before you make a booking it is well worth speaking to a local travel agent who will try to ensure that you have a pleasurable flight.

Getting Round Whilst On Business in Saigon

Many people choose to explore this city by foot. Because the centre is relatively compact this is a quite a sensible option. However, if you are daunted by the prospect of crossing busy roads, where motorbikes are zooming in all directions, then you may be better off catching a bus or taxi.
Public transport is surprisingly good in Ho Chi Minh, the buses are regular and operate along 150 different routes. If you are keen to find out the times and routes then it is advisable to head along to the information centre opposite the busy Ben Thanh Market. You will discover that the bus is a cost effective and safe travel option.

Useful Information for Business Travellers to Saigon

The national currency of Vietnam is the Dông. UK business people will find that it is easy to find banks and bureaux de change where the British pound can be exchanged. Anybody keen to use plastic payment will be happy to hear that Visa and Mastercard are accepted in most areas of Ho Chi Minh.
If you are used to the business customs of Eastern Countries such as China and Japan then you will not find it difficult to work effectively in Vietnam. It is a generally accepted practice to be introduced to fellow business people, rather than approach them directly. It is worth remembering that any the Vietnamese take a good deal of time over paperwork as they closely examine any terms and conditions.
